Symphonic/Prog Metal Force The Wave and the Particle Unveil “Electric Sheep”

Innovative female-fronted symphonic/prog metal band The Wave and the Particle have just released the official video for “Electric Sheep,” the title track from their latest album. 

With its mix of cinematic synth layers, symphonic textures, and heavy guitars, “Electric Sheep” captures The Wave and the Particle’s signature fusion of industrial rock, symphonic metal, and progressive rock. The song explores the pull of collective thinking in the digital age and the loss of individuality in the face of ideological conformity. The video tells this story through the journey of a painter in a black-and-white world who, drawn into a powerful movement, loses his sense of self and becomes one with the faceless crowd.

Founded in 2015, The Wave and the Particle fuses symphonic metal, industrial, and progressive rock. Their music blends soaring vocals, layered synths, and intricate guitars. Electric Sheep showcases their signature genre-bending style and cyberpunk-inspired themes of technology, identity, and the future.

Line up:

Abhiram – Drums
Alessandro Castelli – Bass
Chandra Garud – Guitar
Katharina Huang – Vocals
Vasiliy Sharikov – Keys, Synths, Programming

“To close the night and the weekend, Born of Osiris delivered a high-octane headline set that tore the roof off. It was the perfect finale to an unforgettable weekend. When the last note rang out, it hit us — AMF 2025 was coming to a close. There’s always that bittersweet feeling as you start packing up. But that’s the beauty of this festival: it stays with you long after the amps cool down. Every year, Armstrong Metalfest brings together a community that truly loves heavy music. It’s not just about bands and beer — it’s about belonging. The friends you make, the moments you live, the memories that stick — they’re why we keep coming back. If you’ve never been to AMF, consider this your sign. It’s more than a music festival—it’s a metal rite of passage. Once you go, it gets into your blood. We’re already counting the days until the next one.” – Stan Schinners of Broken Neck Radio / Absolute Underground Magazine (Live Review AMF 2025)

About:

Since its inception in 2009 (with a brief hiatus in 2020 and 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic), West Metal Entertainment and Armstrong MetalFest have championed hundreds of local bands while welcoming renowned international acts to the quiet town of Armstrong, British Columbia.
​
Every year, metalheads from across Canada and the U.S. converge on the scenic Okanagan Valley for three days of camping and two days packed with heavy metal mayhem. Under the blazing summer sun, fans revel in live performances, wrestling spectacles, scavenger hunts, and reconnecting with their extended metal family.
​
Armstrong MetalFest has hosted legendary headliners like Kataklysm, Cattle Decapitation, Archspire, Nekrogoblikon, Origin, Rivers of Nihil, Warbringer, Fallujah, Striker, and Beyond Creation, alongside rising stars from across North America. And when the final riff fades, the festival vanishes without a trace, leaving the landscape as untouched as it was before.

NASTYVILLE Release Supercharged Video “Run Wild, Rev High!” For New Album “Rebirth” Out Now

After igniting the scene with the explosive singles “Power To The People” and “Rocking Through The Night”, Italian hard rockers Nastyville strike again with the release of their brand-new single and official video “Run Wild, Rev High!”. The track is taken from their latest album “Rebirth“, out now via Rockshots Records.

“Run Wild, Rev High!” encapsulates the band’s raw and unfiltered rock’n’roll spirit: adrenaline-fueled riffs, pounding rhythms and a chorus built to be shouted loud and proud. Co-written by guitarist David “Dave Wild” Visin and Christian “Dega” De Gaudenzi, the song delivers the perfect balance between classic sleaze/glam roots and a modern hard rock punch.

The official video further amplifies the track’s energy, capturing Nastyville’s trademark attitude and stage-ready presence. It’s a declaration of freedom, rebellion, and unapologetic rock’n’roll excess, a theme that resonates throughout “Rebirth“, an album described by the band as their truest statement of identity and cohesion to date.

Recorded at Ivorytears Music Works Recording Studio (Somma Lombardo, VA), “Rebirth” was produced by the band and mixed and engineered by Alessandro Del Vecchio (Hardline, Revolution Saints, Edge of Forever, Giant). With its blend of gritty riffs, punchy hooks, and high-octane choruses, the record represents a bold new chapter for Nastyville—one that has already led them to stages alongside Skid Row, Crashdïet, Enuff Z’Nuff, Steel Panther, The Dead Daisies, and more.

“Run Wild, Rev High!” is a call to let go of boundaries and embrace the chaos,” the band comments. “It’s about living with no brakes, no apologies, and turning life’s madness into pure energy.”

ABOUT:​
Nastyville is an Italian hard rock band formed in 2012 by drummer Danny Boy and guitarist David “Dave Wild,” with the aim of refreshing the rock genre. The first studio album, “Viva Hell-A” (released in 2015), features old-fashioned guitar riffs and the flavor of the best street/glam rock with Lex on vocals, Kruska on bass guitar, and Manuel on guitar. After Lex and Kruska left, the band continued its journey with Marco “Mark Lee” on vocals and Fabian Anderchen on bass guitar, releasing in 2017 their second studio album, “Glam Caramel”. This album, marked by heavier sounds, gave the band the opportunity to open the Italian tour dates for Skid Row, Crashdïet, Enuff Z’Nuff, Adam Bomb, John Corabi, Simon Wright, and many others. “Songs of Threesome”, released in 2022, was their third studio album and featured a new lineup with Christian “Dega” on guitar and Paul “Cannibal” (ex-Thee S.T.P.) on bass guitar.
​
In 2023, founding member and drummer Danny Boy and bassist Paul left the band and were soon replaced by Christian “Chris Tabeat” on drums and Carlo “The Horv” on bass guitar. After the release of the two singles “Red Black…Or Green?” and “Livin’ in A Mess”, the band with its new lineup consisting of Marco “Mark Lee” on vocals, David “Dave Wild” on guitar, Christian “Dega” on guitar, Christian “Chris Tabeat” on drums and Carlo “The Horv” on bass guitar, worked tirelessly on new studio material. The year 2024 was a very good year when the band played many dates across Italy and abroad. The opening act for Steel Panther in Milan (Alcatraz) deserves special mention. The band spent the last months of the year working on a brand-new album, entering the studio in December to start recording their fourth studio album under the supervision of producer, singer, and songwriter Alessandro Del Vecchio.

Radelmare, one of the newcomers to the metal scene, has a new single about the sudden end of life – New Sparklings EP out now.

Radelmare, a newcomer to the Finnish metal scene, just released their new EP Sparklings, which also sees the light of day for the EP’s title track. The song Sparklings takes the listener from the sensitivity of a ballad to the depths of brutal metal. Sparklings deals with the sudden end of life and lost love. It tells how in the last seconds of life, all the most important moments flash before our eyes.
“Especially during wartime, it is emphasized how life can be over in an instant. We hope that in the last moments everyone gets to relive the best memories of their life, before moving from time to eternity,” the band describes.

Radelmare, who released their first releases and gigs this year, combines the raunchy riffs of the 80s with the intensity of modern metal. The band, which has had a good start to its career, has released four singles over the past year, which have appeared on Spotify playlists and received airplay on YleX.

Sparklings track listing:
1. Let’s Go (One More Time)
2. You Don’t Know Anything
3. F.T.S
4. Sparklings
5. Rage Against The Dying Of The Light

Radelmare’s gigs have also been going well. The band has had time to support Luna Kills, perform at Möysän Musaklubi in Lahti, and play a festival gig at Varparock together with, among others, Awake Again and I Am Your God.
The future also looks busy – Radelmare is currently preparing material for their debut album and will head to the studio in 2026. Before that, the band will be seen at club gigs during the autumn and early winter. Radelmare will next perform at Varjobaar in Tampere on 14.11.

Radelmare is:
Pekka Peltola – Vocals
Henri Kyrö – Bass
Otto Kekäläinen – Drums
Arttu Kekäläinen – Guitar

HELLFOX Released Official Video for “Water On The Ceiling”

Italian all-female metal band HELLFOX have unveiled the brand new official video for “Water On The Ceiling”, one of the standout tracks from their latest album “The Spectrum Of Human Gravity“, released last June 6th, 2025 via Rockshots Records.

A song born from the suffocating sensation of insomnia, “Water On The Ceiling” captures the eerie stillness of endless nights when eyes remain wide open as reality blurs into a waking dream. The track blends haunting melodies, distorted synths and Hellfox’s trademark dual female vocals to convey the claustrophobic feeling of staring at a ceiling that turns into water—suffocating, oppressive and inescapable.

The video adds a new visual dimension to the song’s atmosphere, portraying the emotional weight of sleeplessness and the surreal imagery that inspired the lyrics. It represents yet another chapter in the band’s journey of exploring the depths of human emotion through music and imagery.

“The Spectrum Of Human Gravity” has already gained recognition for its unique fusion of Nordic melodic death metal roots, pop-inspired clean vocals, and modern electronic textures. With singles like “Seaweed Braids” and “Atlas”, Hellfox set the stage for an album that confronts loneliness, mental struggle,s and the search for identity without resorting to clichés. “Water On The Ceiling” continues this narrative, offering a vivid metaphor for psychological weight and restless nights.

Recorded at Eden Studio by Alessio Lucatti and mixed/mastered by Simone Mularoni at Domination Studio, the album showcases the band’s fearless approach to songwriting and their growth since their 2022 debut.

For fans of Amorphis, In Flames, and Dark Tranquillity, Hellfox’s new video is not just a performance but a visceral dive into the emotions that define “The Spectrum Of Human Gravity“.

ABOUT:

HELLFOX is an ALL FEMALE alternative metal (alt-metal) band with melodic death tendencies. Despite the four completely different musical backgrounds, we share a common inspiration to Amorphis, In Flames, Dark Tranquillity as far as composition is concerned, while for the choice of sounds we intended to move away from the Symphonic, recognizably feminine scenario to include acid and distorted synths so that we could create modern atmospheres that more closely met our tastes and better married the pop timbre of the melodic vocals. The dualism of HELLFOX is not meant to be understood on a conflicting level, it is instead the result of different voices within the human soul, different faces if you will, that mingle and generate the person itself, in its entirety, that although they seem to struggle, they coexist and create harmony and balance. We don’t use masks to conform to a mass, nor do we want to stand out at all costs, we just want to be ourselves in a society where normality is only a surface, the abyss instead is made up of so many facets of personality, both for the group and especially for the individual human being. Ours is a message within everyone’s reach, in which one can recognize oneself: that little voice in the head that either draws you in or drives you away… Because for us, nothing is normal, nothing is different.

Canadian Thrashers TRISKELYON Announces 4th Studio Album “Maelstrom of Chaos” Out Nov 2025; Streaming Single “Blood Drowned Prophecy” ft. Liv Jagrell

Canada’s undisputed Thrash Metal Gods Triskelyon return with their long-awaited 4th full-length, “Maelstrom of Chaos”, a relentless storm of speed, fury, and precision due out on November 28th, via Moribund Records.

Formed in 2021 by guitarist Geoff Waye of the acclaimed True Metal band Category VI, Triskelyon came roaring out of the gate with their self-titled EP and landed a deal with Moribund Records for their chart-crushing debut, “Downfall” (2022). They followed with the bone-splitting “Artificial Insanity” (2023), dominating radio for six weeks, followed by the apocalyptic “Shattered Elysium” (2024). Each release bigger, faster, heavier… and now comes the ultimate Thrash onslaught “Maelstrom of Chaos”.

For “Maelstrom of Chaos,” mastermind Geoff Waye once again summons an all-star cast of metal warriors from the Canadian scene and from the global scene. Enlisting the vocal talents of guests Liv Jagrell (Liv Sin), Amanda Jackman (Category VI), James Delbridge (Lycanthro), Carolina Padrón (Tribus, Bloodrain), Dale Drew (Sea Dogs), and Pete Healey (Marshall Law, Ex Oberon), this album reigns as a true Thrash Metal masterpiece. On drums, the thunder is split between Raul Marques (Burning Torment) and Nicole Trinchero (Chaos Rising, Acroma), while bass devastation comes courtesy of Dwayne Pike (Afterforever), Rick White (Within the Realm, Exorcist), and Darrin Pope.

​

​
In true Triskelyon fashion, expect more than Thrash – this is a molten fusion of Thrash, Speed, Power, Death-Thrash, and Traditional Metal. Wild and impressive, explosive riffs, razor-sharp solos, and skull-crushing rhythms resurrect the glory of the ‘80s while forging it into something bigger, louder, and deadlier for today.

In keeping with Triskelyon‘s tradition of closing their albums with an iconic cover, this release delivers the heaviest Metal rendition of Peter Schilling’s mega-hit “Major Tom” that the world will ever hear!

“Maelstrom of Chaos” is not just an album – it’s a Thrash Metal supernova. Brace yourself.

Italian Prog Metallers AETHERNA Released New Single ‘Screaming Silence’ with Lyric Video

Volcano Records & Promotion is proud to announce the release of ‘Screaming Silence’, the new single by AETHERNA, available on all digital platforms.

The Rome-based band, one of the most solid and compelling acts in the Italian heavy metal scene, returns with a track that is not just a release, but a true manifesto of identity and inner resistance. With a sound that blends the raw power of heavy metal with alternative nuances and refined progressive textures, Screaming Silence portrays silence as an act of strength, as the pure expression of those who refuse to bend to the external noise made of judgment, misunderstanding, and fear. In this silence that becomes a scream lies the path of those who confront the chaos of the world without losing their essence, turning vulnerability into awareness, and awareness into freedom. The song, running for nearly six minutes, is built on a crescendo of tension and intensity that bursts into a liberating chorus, driven by the powerful and charismatic voice of Tamara Secci, capable of moving seamlessly from dark atmospheres to soaring melodic lines. Supporting her are the razor-sharp guitars of Vincenzo Zappatore and Vittorio D. Flumeri, the solid bass lines of Marco Di Marco, and the rhythmic impact of drummer Giovanni “Joey” Del Giudice, whose energy gives the track an unstoppable drive. Screaming Silence is much more than a single: it is a preview of the new artistic journey that will lead Aetherna to the release of their second album in 2025, and it testifies to the growth of a band that over the years has made its mark live as well, sharing the stage with artists such as Michael A. Batio, Pino Scotto, Lacuna Coil, and Dave Ellefson of Megadeth.

Mathias Lillmåns celebrates 30 years of metal music – Unreleased songs from the archives to come

Mathias Lillmåns is celebrating 30 years as a musician with his solo project, and will release a compilation album called Remains under the name Lillmåns on November 21st. The album will be released by new Finnish label Stormbound Records.

The Twilight Moon – The Forgotten Recordings EP, released last month, began a process in which the artist, who has worked with several bands throughout his career, will bring rare and previously unreleased tracks to fans. The EP The Degenerate Years was released at the end of September, remixed and remastered by Wolfthrone Studio’s Owe Inborr. The three-track released brings to light material from the band Degenerate, which marked a turning point in Lillmåns’ career.

“Degenerate is where it all got real,” Lillmåns recalls. “The band had fast and technically challenging riffs, progressive rhythms, complex guitar solos and melodies, and a groove and drive that I had never experienced before.”

In 2002, Lillmåns began studying to be a sound engineer. The songs now released capture both the young band’s bold ambition and his first steps in a professional studio environment. In addition to recording, Lillmåns played bass and sang backing vocals on the recordings.

“The songs Blinded and Displacement are from those sessions – it was the first time I recorded a whole band in a professional studio,” he says.

The Degenerate Years and Twilight Moon – The Forgotten Recordings have laid the foundation for a compilation album to be released in November, which brings together rare and previously unreleased material from Lillmåns’ three-decade career in metal music.
